Security - OWASP-Certified and More
Information Builders is committed to leadership by meeting the security requirements of federal, public, and customer-facing Web-based applications. To that end, we participate in Information Assurance certifications to provide a superset of security integration that emphasizes strategic risk management and defends against malicious hacker attacks. Information Builders is also a member of the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP), for which WebFOCUS has achieved Verification Level 3 certification in an independent security audit. WebFOCUS is also certified 508-compliant by a third-party organization."
WebFOCUS provides security and protection on many levels- system, application, database, and field-value:
- Application access security - within the WebFOCUS environment, administrators can manage and define user access according to user groups, departments, or roles
- Data access security - access to information can be restricted down to the data-value level so that WebFOCUS users will see only the information they need to see; this not only lets you protect sensitive information, but it allows you to streamline the reporting environment for many users and make reports easier and quicker to read
- External security - WebFOCUS fully supports external security systems and authentication schemes including operating system and database management security, as well as extended security packages such as LDAP, ADS, SecureWay, Entrust, and VeriSign
